One way to perform lookups on ACF2 site defined fields

Technote (troubleshooting)

Problem(Abstract)

Presented is one way to be able to use the zSecure lookup function against ACF2 site defined fields.

Cause

Default lookups are in the ACF2 logonid database. A type=ACF2LID lookup assumes the basefield contains a logonid, and finds the value of the specified targetfield in the ACF2 database. The target fields supported are:

ACF2_UID (the UIDstring) NAME NON-CNCL READALL RESTRICT SECURITY STC

Resolving the problem

In order to be able to use lookup against ACF2 site defined fields, a file must be created first with the desired fields, then used after that for the lookup.
